title: Ameloblastic carcinoma of the jaws. A report of two cases.
abstract: Two cases of ameloblastic carcinoma of the jaws are reported. Histopathologically, the lesions showed cytologic features of malignancy in addition to classical ameloblastoma patterns and were therefore documented as examples of ameloblastic carcinoma. The negative cytokeratin expression by the malignant cells on histochemical analysis is notably different from that normally observed in classical ameloblastomas.
